Wow, you might get away with being fascist friendly as an NBA owner in Texas or FL but will be interesting to see how Laker fans respond to being taken under the wing of the fourth reich.

Hi, I'm looking for recommendations for a head-mounted (ideally 360) camera that can do sound as well for runs <1 hour. In addition to being able to record a great run, I'd especially like to have this to capture the dangerous conditions we (USA) runners are exposed to by unsafe drivers, I plan to submit a montage of footage to our local city in hopes of driving some action and accountability to improve pedestrian safety.

TIA

Pass this on, this driver should be in prison.

The City of Portland and Multnomah County seem to be struggling to keep up with Dundon's tactics, communications and pressure. Why would they be?

They're dealing with someone who started their illustrious careers as a used car salesman focused on sub-prime (high interest, high-risk) loans who settled lawsuits in multiple states, multiple times for illegal business practices.

Billionaires don't come to their wealth without abusing others. COP & Multnomah County need to get some adults who are capable of putting their foot down and not giving away half a billion dollars to a grifter billionaire.

We need affordable housing. We need sustainable energy and investment in public transit. We need equitable economics--not billionaire giveaways.

Una fotografia pubblicata da Popular Mechanics mostra una sfida tra sei persone e l’OARAC, computer sviluppato da General Electric. Il compito era calcolare il quadrato di 8.645.392.175: nessun concorrente ottenne il risultato esatto, mentre la macchina completò il calcolo rapidamente e senza errori. L’episodio contribuì a diffondere l’idea dei computer come strumenti capaci di superare l’uomo in velocità e precisione nei calcoli numerici.

Not eaeth-shaking case of precedent but a nice reminder of why legal systems exist and why many have become disengaged by them.

I opened this thread and clicked the image to zoom and it was all blurry. I thought the Op had out in. Low quality image to the post but when I clicked and downloaded the image and opened it, the image was much higher quality.

Is this someone using the "thumbnail" field in the post feature which maybe isn't used that often which is why it hasn't come up for me before? I'm no fediverse expert, is it someone cross posting from another linked site or app and that's why it's displaying differently?

Just strange to have such a low quality image when clicking on the image to view vs. downloading a higher res version.

TIA

The contrast of career banker adults who have aggrandized the exploitation of foreign soil and peoples, usury, debt with that of innocent children (and the average person who wants nothing to do with the above) is a sterling (pun intended) takedown of banking.

Extra, that you probably already knew, Dick Van Dyke, who also played Burt the chimney sweep and common man character in the movie, portrays the elderly bank director here in the same movie. A front runner to Sellers and Carrey's multitudinous talents.

Oregon is often listed as a "progressive" state, but in fact, has failed to keep up or institute some worker, job and wage pieces and are embarrassingly behind as of 2026:

• Washington and California both have statewide minimum salaried/exempt wages. As of 2026, the minimum annual salary an exempt(salaried) WA employee can be paid is $80,168.40, and in CA it's $70,304. WA's bill is particularly progressive and in the last 3 years has caught up to and now passed CA for the required state salaried minimum. New York, Maine and Colorado also have salaried minimum thresholds. Meanwhile, Oregon has...nothing for salaried/exempt employees and only toes the Federal line, current still at $35,536 since 2019 when a Texas lawsuit and corrupt judge clawed back an Obama increase to $47k. More on that history across presidential administrations since 2004 here but at any rate, it's embarrassing Oregon hasn't moved on this despite Democrats having total control--easy to see who pads their pockets.

• Oregon has no job posting salary disclosure requirements. Both CA and WA have required job posts to have the salary range in them as of 2023. Oregon, continues to provide employers the benefit of darkness where inequality pervades and employees invest the time and effort in application to jobs where by the time an employer may disclose the salary the grip of sunk cost may not leave the candidate with other options. This is embarrassing and could be easily fixed, the only people advocating against this are greedy, or incompetent--even a basic passage of this is not hard and decent employers already do it as they don't want to waste candidates' or their own company time.

Not sure if this is the website or a new version but I had my phone in my pocket all day while working, went from 100% to 35%, had an incognito single tab open at finance.yahoo.com and that's what android said did nearly all the battery usage.

Could be a different website wouldn't and it's just yahoo frequently updating/pushing content I didn't even have my phone open/active hardly at all, it was using so much the back was warm which is what had me check even what was using it and why the battery was so low.

Surely this will be the team where Harden isn't a toxic, defense avoiding premadonnna?

What is CLE doing?

What are the grizz doing?

App used to automatically load posts from what I recall but no longer seems to even under "all" categories so it's certainly not a "tiny communities/no new posts” thing. If I scroll back to the top of "all" and drag down to refresh, new content loads

Right wing media and think tanks consistently blitz the news and press when tax increases are discussed, threatened or, in the recnent instance of Mamdani, the new more progressive mayor of NY, that progressive taxation policy drives the rich to leave.

I wanted to share this article about the UK media outlets misleading, inaccurate and over representation of coverage here of the identical issue as the same schlock fear mongering without any data is done there as in the US. I assume the playbook is the same in Canada, Australia and elsewhere but would be interested to hear from those better informed.

Coordinated, well funded attacks on critical democratic infrastructure are not coincidence globally, they are the playbook.

As someone >90th percentile in height and >75th percentile in weight for the US, I've found in the last 5 years I now no longer fit into most "Large" size clothing and need to buy more "Medium" sized clothing. I haven't lost/gained weight nor shrunk(that I'm aware of). Statistically, numerically and culturally this seems strange.

Anyone else find sizes that "should" or "used to" fit have morphed and you now shop different sizes where your body size hasn't changed?
